Staff reports

The Boston-based nonprofit Community Servings last year delivered more than 425,000 meals to critically and chronically ill residents in communities throughout the region that includes parts of MetroWest.The organization aims to help clients maintain their health and dignity and preserve the integrity of their families through culturally appropriate, home-delivered meals, nutrition education and other community programs.Community Servings experienced a 17 percent increase in the number of clients the organization serves during fiscal year 2012– more than six times its average growth.To apply for home-delivered meals service, clients must submit a completed intake packet, including a medical certification form completed by their doctor or nurse. Eligibility is based on physician referral, the extent of the client’s illness, the client's mobility and any factors that make it difficult for the client to shop and cook for themselves.More information is available at www.servings.org.
